The launch of Samsung Galaxy S6 is just around the corner, and the rumour mill keeps on revealing new details about the upcoming smartphone.
The latest report comes from Chinese social media website Weibo, saying Samsung will decrease the battery capacity in its next flagship compared to last year's Galaxy S5.
Photos taken inside a Samsung supplier's plant show the batteries with 2,600mAh capacity and speculation is rife that these are headed to Galaxy S6 and S6 Edge. This means that the two phones' powerhouse will be 200mAh lower than that of Galaxy S5.
However, smaller battery capacity does not necessarily mean relatively lower battery performance for Samsung Galaxy S6. The South Korean giant recently announced that it will use Exynos 7 chipsets made on 14nm process in its upcoming smartphones. These chips reduce battery consumption by 35%, while increasing productivity and speed by up to 35% and 20%, respectively.
Compared to Galaxy Note 3, Samsung had given only a 20mAh capacity increase to the battery of its Galaxy Note 4. During our review, we found that both smartphones last perform equally well on this parameter.
Samsung had earlier teased that the next-generation Galaxy S smartphone will have an "intelligent" camera that can take "amazing pictures under any condition." The company is expected to showcase the new top-end models on March 1 in Barcelona, Spain, though it has not been made official yet.
